But this trend is no more and people prefer ivory or cream coloured wedding dress. The bride and the bridegroom prefer ivory to white as it would go along with the skin complexion. If white dress is used, it can show off the paleness.

Unlike white colour, Ivory comes with a sight darker shade. It can have undertones in beige, yellow, gold and peach. When compared to the white colour, the Ivory colour is considered to be a warm colour.
